Looking forward to anything ....except any EV.....

The guy on the bike never flinched 😂

From what I’ve read, i6 Hurricane sounds like a modern 2JZ-GTE. Those were tuned to make well over 1000hp. That in an AWD car will torch any hellcat/demon. Plus it can be had at possibly a current RT/Scatpack price? Game changer!

I’m old school and have owned MANY V-8s; including 4 Challengers and 1 Barracuda. But a V-6 is not un-American! Europeans used straight or flat 6s and we cornered the market on V-6s. And, as we’ve learned from Porsche, a lighter weight 6 cylinder can often beat an 8 cylinder. This is progress boys. Give it a chance - Dodge is trying to please everyone but they can’t make everyone happy.

THATS INSANE. ALMOST 1500LB PER WHEEL WITHOUT PASSENGERS

That ilne 6 will be my next car

The high output Hurricane Charger is designed to rival the Supras and GTRs. The horrible thing about the EV is that the RT and Scat badges are being used on it. The Hurricane should have those badges. Seriously there are Hornets with RT badging and they're under 300HP.

If they've already lengthened the hood to accommodate an i6, why not just throw in a cummins. 😂

I'm excited for SixPack! The straight 6 has always been one of my favorite engine configurations. In most cases they are torque monsters and they are bullet proof reliable. There is a reason most diesels are straight 6 turbos. Great video RacerX. I would love to see you get a SixPack and mod the tire smokin', asphalt rippin' crap outta that thing!

It can be yours for 10k per mph.

Let’s get real, the best thing to do is to junk the straight 6 and drop a crate engine Hemi into the new Charger.

Nah this is a crazy statement as much as I love V8s these inline-6 are ELITE when it comes to making power

well, having owned a 89 Turbo TA, and my Ex a 91 Twin turbo 3000GT VR4, i can tell you, Turbo 6 cylinder cars can be a lot of fun! and this coming Hurricane powered Dodge has way more HP than those did! should also mention the Turbo charged Grand National, the Silkwood's son up the street from me got one after they got their Kerr McGee settlement. and it was no slouch either! Turbo 6 muscle cars were very popular in the past, and proved their worth. maybe we can give Dodge a chance at least. just hope they can make it sound close to a V8 like Pontiac did with the 89 Turbo TA. not sure exactly how they did it, but i know it had larger headers, 3in pipes and a tuned muffler of some sort. and it DID sound like a V8. check em out on YT. and not since that car, have i seen not one auto maker, or aftermarket exhaust company duplicate it. but ya, i'll pass on the EVs, no interest in ever owning one! ☮

To bad they won't make the I6 first. Great video RacerX!

Agreed brotha that 6 pack is a American Supra I hope it’s mpi and DI fueling like the mustangs dodge will kill it easy E85 tuned oh yeah the 550 will be 600 or 650 just tuned and fuel change

Not sure the I6 is going to be much of a deal considering the price increases we’ve seen from Jeep and Ram. Ram Rebel 1500 went up $5k for 2025 with the I6 and a refresh. Charger getting the same motor and AWD standard sounds like a start in the $50k range.

Hopefully, the HO TTi6 will live up to its name. The 5.0 gt makes 800rwhp with just a whipple, so im hoping this hurricane makes up to 1000hp with stock internals, then it will be an interesting future. Camaro has left the chat..

Would be great if the Six Pack cars end up being the Supra's of the '20's. For those that weren't around back then, the Supra was *the* car to buy and mod for an amazing dollar/performance ratio. I've owned Chargers since the reintroduction of the Hemi powered Charger in the '05 model year. I was thinking about getting the EV Charger when it's released, but after watching this, the lure of a twin turbo charged inline six might just be too tempting to overcome.

These EV’s are so damn heavy… not an EV fan, sir.. i may be interested in the Hurricane though! I will give it the chance and test drive one. But you have to know they’re still is over 1000 charger hellcat wide bodies available market! Great upload,sir! Hope everything’s going OK for you

I totally agree with all of your points on the new hurricane powered vehicles! Im actually excited about how they will perform! I would be very interested in having even the base one for daily commutes. I’ve had a couple turboed powered cars. One thing I’ve noticed, is the exhaust notes are very different from the n/a cars when installing aftermarket systems. They sound really nice and aggressive vice the obnoxious noise from n/a 4 or 6 cylinder cars.

I just checked like and watched love my new coyote glad I made the switch

The Hurricane is for sure going to be the way to go if they're doing the ability of 2wd and AWD while having more power and weighing less. It won't sounds like any V8, but it will have to do. Beats all EV options I guess, and the engine seems to have great potential. Looks like a pain to work on though haha

Look guys even the 420 hp engine will be very moddable just look at the bmw340i has the 400hp inline 6 and tuners are getting 600hp with bolt ons and tune.. so its going to be really cool to have this option with dodge now

I agree with you. It was nice met you last week at drag strip. Hope see you again you have amazing car

What’s gonna happen with all these Electric time bombs when we start to drill baby drill!?

A turbo MOTOR is way easier to get free HP than an N/A MOTOR, I like how the new Charger looks and a little play to it that this is going to fly. Granted I love the sound of the v8, but that Hurricane will be more fuel efficient and more power per litter than any HEMI V8

They are almost heavy as the trackhawk

Love your content as always bro 👍🏼 You always reminded me of Kurt Angel & Goldberg all in one person 😂 2 years of watching you & I finally commented what's on my mind lol 😅

What’s your thoughts on a flat 6 Dodge Viper? Just curious.

When can I order a 2025 4 door Charger in Go Mango 420 HP?

Great review and comparison. Good bullet points to think about!

The 3.8 turbo v6 in the 87 grand national regularly made over 1k hp without touching the engine and with an exhaust it rumbled quite nicely along with the fighter jet sounding whistle.

I like your optimism of all these changes.

Just buy the Mustang GT with a NA V8. Glad they're still producing them 👏🏻

I absolutely love 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder cars. I dont mean to be a negative guy towards this Hurricane version of the Charger, but I'm just not sold on it. If i want a Charger, or Camaro, or Mustang, or Viper or Corvette etc, I want a V8. Im aware these 4 and 6 cylinder cars can in a lot of cases be faster than the V8 but a lot of us never really race their car. I dont race mine. I just want the V8 in a muscle car because of not only the feel of the car but how that car makes me feel.

Great video and thanks for the info

Great video!!! Well throughout points.... I would be interested in the scatpack just to have something to turn up... After watching your video on the superbee wide body, My wife I found one last weekend $5k below msrp and now proud owners of our 2nd Mopar....

Voltage won’t make a difference when it comes to the weight of the car. Now, adding two more electrical motors or another electrical motor will definitely change the weight. But the voltage increase will not make a difference

I've never wanted a modern Challenger/Charger, but I might like a Hurricane/AWD as a daily driver.

Honestly, I haven’t seen anyone happy about the new line up. Just as a fan of cars in general, this lineup seems like it could’ve been more successful if it was released before ending the hemi production

Very cool, thank you!

If you're not totally married to the V8 engine and you like the way this new car looks, then this is actually a win/win. The AWD, 4 door, 420 hp, I6, Sixpack Charger is expected to start in the high $30K range. The current AWD, 4 door, 300 hp V6 Charger, starts in the high-$30K range. You get 120 extra ponies and a brand new design for a few grand extra. The AWD, 2 door, 550 hp, I6 Charger is expected to start in the mid-$40K range. The current RWD, two door, 370hp, V8 RT Challenger, starts in the mid-$40k range. You get 180 extra ponies and AWD, but you lose two cylinders. I'd say that both of these are pretty fair trades, unless you can't live without a V8 in your life.

This new EV chambered exhaust is really dumb. I’d be literally embarrassed to drive that in front of people making that noise.. just saying

The production workers in Windsor are missing the minivan because they believe these models are gonna flop and there goes their jobs.

I don't care anymore.

I believe that the hurricane will outsell the EV 100 to one. 💰💰💰

I'm starting to come around on the Hurricane engine Charger. A 420 hp 4 door Charger is no slouch, and a 550 hp 2 door Charger is more than enough horsepower needed on the roads, and to be able to switch between 2wd and awd is amazing.

The EV version weighs 5800 pounds!

I like the 2 door look. Hope it's a practical vehicle.

Gas n go definitely a huge deal! I like 1000hp. I'm getting a Ram HO and turning it up to about 650 horse seems like a good starting point

The Fratzonic exhaust reminds me of singer Brian Johnson with laryngitis.

Hey Racer x, Have you heard anything about the Federal Tax Credit $7500 for the Daytona charger. Love the look and awd 670 hp!

Glad Dodge keeping Mod Life alive for us boys.

Is the i6 the base engine, or are they still gonna use the pentastar v6?

Love the stash with dash of salt and pepper brudda😉 let's get it 💪 🙌 😤 👏 👌

RacerX, Actually, the arguments you make only encourage me to want to go and get the EV Daytona, but for other considerations that you may not have thought about: 1) The Hurricane 6 cyl twin turbo motor will indeed produce a lot more power, but one has to remember that in an ICE engine only about 1/3 of the energy originally stored in the fuel is available to overcome internal drivetrain friction and propel the car. Half of the remaining 2/3 available energy gets blown out the tailpipe as heat, the other 1/3 is transferred to the surrounding atmosphere via the radiator and other driveline cooling systems. So in order to produce your 1000 hp to the wheels, 1000 will go out the tailpipe as heat and the other 1000 will have to get transferred to the radiator. Normally this is no big deal, but remember that the displacement of these engines are getting lower and lower, which means the TEMPERATURES of some of these key engine/drivetrain components are going to get a LOT hotter than their earlier generations' counterparts. Have you noticed lately that there are a lot more PLASTIC components in the engine bay nowadays? Some of those are on key components, say like a plastic fitting on the thermostat housing that's sitting right above the exhaust manifold? After a lot of thermal cycles (run engine to normal operating temp, shut down, let sit overnight, repeat) all those plastic bits start to fatigue. Some break, and a few key ones can shut the engine down if, say, all the coolant blows out of the engine when you're driving through the desert (Oh, gosh, that NEVER happened to me :rolleyes:) So from a long term reliability viewpoint, the Hurricane engine has a built-in strike against it vs. the EV motor as the operational temperatures of the EV drivtrain won't get as hot as the ICE. 2) From a total system complexity point of view, there are LOT more moving parts in the ICE engine and transmission. Yeah, the engineers have had 140 years of experience making the things reliable, but the trouble is, the more parts there are that make the systems more complex (e.g., compare the 1969 3 speed automatic transmission vs. a modern 10 speed automatic transmission) , the more the probability is that something can fail. And when they do fail, they cost a lot more to fix. If Dodge has an electric motor like the Tesla's that needs no transmission (full torque available all the way to 13,000 rpm) the transmission disappears and (in theory, at least) this makes the drivetrain way more reliable. 3) Yup, batteries can die on the EV. But so can the engine on the Hurricane or the transmission. With all of the now heat-soaked and thermal-cycled plastic bits on the Hurricane after, say, 10 years of service, and if the engine has to get replaced, a lot of those plastic bits are going to break when they have to get removed if the engine has to be replaced or worked on. The engine and transmission are a bear to get out of the car and back in, so labor cost to replace them is significant because it can take a lot of time. If Dodge PLANS on battery replacement on the EV Daytona, this can be done in a few hours by dropping a few panels and swapping the battery out without messing with the other parts of the drivetrain. Remember, a lot of people change cars because they're afraid the engine or transmission will fail and cost a lot to repair. With the EV there's no fuel system, no exhaust system, no emissions system, no separate alternator system, no engine oil that has to get changed every 5,000 miles, no transmission fluid that has to get changed every 60,000 miles, the cooling system doesn't have to extract as much heat as the ICE, so there are things going in the EV's favor. 4) One of the drawbacks of the EV's weight that you don't mention is that because they weigh more, they will chew through tires faster than their lighter brethren. But one advantage of the higher weight is that if the battery pack is placed at the floor of the vehicle, the lower center of gravity will enhance stability and handling. 5) the major drawback of the Daytona EV is that Dodge hasn't made one that's been proven to be reliable yet, so I'm not so sure I want to the beta tester for the thing. But given enough time, the EV concept will prove itself. Frankly, I remember when the 1969 Challenger R/T was new, and it was my favorite muscle car after my all-time favorite of the 1965 Buick Riviera. The trouble is that the '69 Challengers were bought up and destroyed in the "Dukes of Hazard" TV show, so finding a used on in decent shape is pretty much an impossibility nowadays. So, yeah, with all of you guys wanting the Hurricane versions, save one of the EV's for me and hopefully the price will come down for the car I'd prefer to get, namely the EV (when all the bugs are worked out) Besides, remember you actually WANT those of us who prefer the EV's to buy them in order to allow Dodge to make the Hellcat versions for those of you who prefer the ICE. That way Dodge doesn't have to waste millions on credits to Tesla if Dodge can make their own EV. In my mind I'd think that because a lot of buyers prefer the ICE, Dodge should discount the EV to enable more sales of the EV, but this, in turn, will allow more sales of the Hurricane without penalty fines from the EPA, Just a thought. My 2 cents, mind you. YMMV.

All valid. Ima save some money buy a used Supercharged V8 lol

I do think that the inline 6 hurricane does have a chance to have a cult following like the GTR, it could be the GTR of the car muscle world who knows only time will tell.

What is the range on ev

I understand people hating they don't have the hemi I love it too. But straight 6s can be made to run an if you put split headers on them they sound as good or better then a v8.have seen an heard a straight 6 done this way an thought it was a v8 till the hood was upon it had a straight 6

Honestly debating trading my 21 SXT Plus for the inline 6 when it comes out.

What makes this funnier is that this the first time since the 1980s that Dodge has made a factory Charger without a V8.

I'm fine with a straight six. All of them, not just 2JZ, can do around 1000hp. Some easier than others but even the old GM 4200s are on this same level. What no one is realizing, though, is that a turbo 6 is not going to be able to run the cheap gas, lol. Non turbo, sure, with some exceptions like BMW. In the end it's going to be the government that makes these things impossible to tune, though. Not that I would bother with the Dodge version until they're cheap junkyard motors.

Has anyone seen what the official curb weight is for the six pack??

I do enjoy a TT 6 cylinder. The lincolns had them in their AWD cars and were great. Those weren't even this powerful. The HO hurricane is worth looking into a bit.

I'm with you on this one! I have a feeling that Hurricane I6 HO is going to give the EV counterparts a run for their money! Hurricane I6 HO all the way!! I can't wait to hear what a tuned, cherry exhaust note will sound like in the Hurricane I6!

Let these cars pile up at the dealer...I would rather keep my Nissan 300zx twin turbo in good shape over buying an EV

The demon 170 with the blower removed and turbo charged made 300 hp more at I believe 0psi, just removing vacuum. It may have made a couple psi, but very low if any. The parasitic drag of spinning the blower was about 300hp worth if I recall correctly.

670hp AWD Dodge sound f-nuts 💀

Racer X, ask your engineer buddies what is the limits of the propshaft or driveshaft. This will give you an answer on the speed limits.

What’s the weight of the car with the six pack?

I love the new 2025 dodge charger HO looks awesome but I have two big concerns 1. I hope they put a better security system so the six pack doesn’t get Rob and number 2. I hope the engine last longer without any problems

My Concern with the big EV would be Braking distance!

Great vid!

cant wait to see what the six pack can do

Racer X friend keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪👍👍👍👍

Imagine the speaker shorting out while you try and rev that ev 😂

Maybe, just maybe, a wrangler will have a proper straight six again some day

Good to see the Charger get some love, most are critical of it. Lucky they’re doing this dual-platform with EV. That said, as good as an I6 is and although some makes have made a performance name with them (BMW, not the Nissan you showed) … I suspect Dodge buyers are V8 buyers. Time will tell.

If they offer Carbon body parts for it that Six Pack could be made lighter and even more potent, I hope that motor truly stays solid for the new HP race that will come from the modders.

The V6 is fine if people want it. Just doesn’t sound and feel the same. BMW, Nissan, and other makers have mastered big power V6s. Dodge is gonna have to show people something over time to earn the trust back.

The car comes from Dodge/Stellantis already at a high boost. How much more can the “wick be turned up”? Just curious. Now I think the mods can come in way of exhaust/downpipe then tuning it for those mods, but probably not increasing the boost too much. Your thoughts X?

Really dont care about the EV stuff. And yes, it's way too heavy. I think the Hurricane Engine is going to grow in power over the years. I am interested in the inline 6. I do prefer the V8 sound though. But your right, wait until the tuners and after market guys get going. It will be crazy I think.

I don’t see the ev out selling the online 6 cars

The sound isn't fake. It's the way they do it.

I hope your right that the v6 car will Be way lighter than the ev. I love the on off for the awd system on both cars.

🏆Racer X🏆🍀you're the man 😎✌️

I keep remembering in shop class in school 1970s how they now had technology to make cars lighter and stronger metal for cars in the future. looks like someone was or is Bs. those new cars are heavier then Land Yachts of the 1970s

I think the TT Inline 6 version is over 4 inches wider and 8 inches longer than the current gen. Plus it has awd which doesn’t help with weight either. It’s got a lot more technology features and bigger wheels/tires as well. It’s hard to believe it will be lighter, but hopefully RacerX is correct in the 4k lbs range.

should make a slant six

Big steelhead fisherman here and also a Scatpack owner. Lemme guess, are those St.Croix rods on the wall?

Those HO hurricanes are going to be muuuch lighter. Honestly no point putting those fat batteries in such a huge car

A straight-six is a more balanced motor by design.

While I’d only put my money into a 6.1, 6.2 or 6.4 Challenger or Magnum, I am still excited to see the 6 pack. While I wish they’d have used the stealth name instead of giving it a muscle car aesthetic it’s going to be a sweet ride. Even though I’d take my 10 speed 5.0 over it, it’s gonna be smoking me in Mexico that’s for sure!

Any of these cars going to have a manual trans?

Hay, can I just have your Demon? 😂. I think I'd look cool in it 😂

I'm sorry, Racer X. Most people don't care how fast it is. Even me, I still will not trade my car or buy the new Charger. It's not very appealing to me because the whole point of a muscle car is the Hemi V8. These are not muscle cars in my opinion.

The Cummins 6.7L is an Inline engine and it’s awesome.

He said aerodynamic with a straight face sitting on that brick 🤣🤣🤣
